HHS’ Office for Civil Rights Settles HIPAA Investigation of Ambry Genetics for Security Rule Violations

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office for Civil Rights settled a HIPAA Security Rule investigation with Ambry Genetics on September 17, 2026. The settlement resolved potential violations by the California-based genetic testing company, a covered entity under HIPAA rules.

Why it matters: Genetic testing companies and other healthcare entities handling protected health information must ensure their security controls meet HIPAA standards or face enforcement action and settlements.
